Blue Jays Place Guerrero Jr. on Concussion IL After Slump Deepens

The Toronto Blue Jays placed star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the seven-day concussion protocol after he suffered a head injury during a slide at third base against the New York Yankees. The move follows a severe offensive slump for the 27-year-old, who has struggled to find his rhythm since April. To fill the roster spot, Toronto recalled outfielder Daz Cameron from Triple-A and designated right-hander Lazaro Estrada for assignment. Guerrero’s absence adds pressure to a Blue Jays team that is currently second-to-last in the majors in runs scored, despite being just one game out of a Wild Card berth.
